MOST EASTERN CAROLINA
FARMS ARE FIRE HAZARD
Most other Eastern North Caro
lina farms, constitute a fire haz
ard, according to R. S. Douglass,
forestry specialist for N. C. Exten
sion Services, who advises that the
cost of preparing and maintaining
firelanes with a farm tractor is
low compared to what a bad fire
can cost a farmer.
Douglass says that if you have
a rough area, you may need to get
the N. C. Forest Service or a heavy
equipment operator to prepare
your firelanes the first time. Then
you can maintain them with a
farm tractor.
Old lanes that were made with
a heavy fireplow can be maintain
ed as combination roads and fire
lanes if they are worked with a
bush and bog harrow reversed to
pull the dirt in until they are level,
and then maintained with a gang
disk to leave them level.
